When we last left off in the unlikely romance between Julian Assange and the South American nation of Ecuador. . . the latter had expressed a desire to grant the former asylum, however, complications both geographical (Ecuador’s distance from its British embassy) and legal (Britain promising to arrest Assange if he exited said embassy) stood in the way the duo’s ability to consecrate the relationship, if you will (which you will not).

According to The New York Times, Assange has essentially been invited to “remain in [the] embassy in London indefinitely under a type of humanitarian protection.” As such, he has taken on the exact behaviors of a depressive holing up after a failed attempt at love (with Ecuador). Per the paper:

The WikiLeaks founder sleeps on an air mattress in a small office that has been converted to a bedroom, according to accounts of those who have visited him. He has access to a computer and continues to oversee WikiLeaks, his lieutenants have said. Reporters outside the building have seen food being delivered from nearby restaurants. . . he spent his time in a back room, which gets no direct sunlight. Several weeks ago he had a bad cold and appeared depressed . . . some of Mr. Assange’s friends have encouraged him to put on music and dance as a way of getting physical activity and that they had also brought sunlamps.

He’s going to completely spiral when he finds out that Ecuador was spotted cozying up to, and is rumored to be already underneath, Peru.
